ATTENTION: Windows 10 users

Beta 2 build is now available!

If you just upgraded to Windows 10 or running build 10240 or greater of Win 10 pre-release you will need to download and install the new version of ZoneAlarm 14.0.157.000

WIN 7 Virtual Machine (XPMode)

What do You think about installation of ZAES also inside the virtual machine (i.e. do You think it necessary also in the case it will not be connected to internet) ? Any problem arising with two ZAES installed on the same "fisical" disc ?
Found different opinions looking in internet...
Personally I think it necessary only when connecting the virtual machine to internet or in the case it will be opened while the main WIN7 is connected...

Re: WIN 7 Virtual Machine (XPMode)

The advise was not to install ZA under a VM environment since aside from the the fact that it may or may not work, ZA does not support it. If you do a search here you will find the relevant messages about it.

Here is a Quote from the Forum Moderator:

Unfortunately we are not VMware experts here and nor is ZA support.

You will be best served going to VMware support or there forum if they have one to see if other VMware users had any issues with ZA.

Sorry the ZA forum and ZoneAlarm Support can't help you in this situation.

Re: Zonealarm hides network adapter in Windows XPmode

Never heard of this issue and don't know what XP mode settings is. If you are not using emulators or VMs or MACs (not supported by any version of ZA) please contact directly the ZA technical support at the link in my signature (look for the live chat link in the main support page). Its free for registered users.

Explain well the issue and, most importantly, how to replicate it easily. If it is an issue with ZA, official supports need to be made aware of it and eventually escalate it to development team.

Re: Zonealarm hides network adapter in Windows XPmode

Once installed you can configure its network settings in order to communicate with applications running within it.

if you install zonealarm on your host pc ( not xpmode ) then the network setting
in xpmode will do not list your host adapter. And so you cannot communicate with apps that run within xpmode from your host pc. Uninstalling zonealarm fixes the issue.

I'm not a registered user so i cant speak with tech support. I just thought you should know because googling for this solution shows that people are uninstalling zonealarm for this reason.
